Type of object

From the drop-down, select an object type, then select the Line style and Thickness for that object.

  • Only a Thickness option is available for Cross hatching.

  • Options for Detail view clipping edges apply to all clipping edges of partial views. You can also set a Color for the clipping edges.

  • Only a Thickness option is available for Area cross section border lines.

  • Only a Thickness option is available for Cross section arrow tips.

Line style

Select a line style for the object. For example, when working with Wireframe, Hidden Line, or Hidden Line Removed visibility modes, you can select a line style to show the edge(s) of a design's partial view. This feature enables you to easily identify which parts of the model are cut by the partial clipping boundary. Non-solid line styles can help to differentiate a detail view with clipped edges when in wireframe mode.

To enable the display to view while working with your design:
  • Select Lineweight in the Show group in the Display tab

  • Select Hidden Line, Hidden Line Removed or Wireframe from the Graphics drop-down in the Style group in the Display tab

Trim back

The values in the Trim back section control the line weight for side offset handles.

Note: If you try to specify a value that is out of the permitted range in the Options panel or the SpaceClaim Options dialog, you will see a red exclamation mark icon next to the field. You can hover over the icon to see a tooltip that will explain the valid values for the option.
